    Oh em gee....ROSS IS AMAZING!!!…read more Ross was nothing short of incredible--truly the kind of officiant you hope for but rarely find. From the moment we met him, his bright, fun personality instantly put us at ease. He carried himself with so much warmth, respect, and genuine kindness that it made our special day feel even more meaningful. What really stood out was his patience and flexibility. When one of our daughters got caught in traffic, Ross didn't rush us or make us feel stressed--instead, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating. He even stepped in to take photos while we waited, which meant so much to us since we were keeping our wedding simple and didn't have a photographer. That thoughtful gesture alone speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. And then--he literally climbed down into the tide pools with waves crashing around him just to help capture special moments! That level of enthusiasm, care, and willingness to go above and beyond is something we will never forget. It perfectly reflects his fun, easygoing spirit and his dedication to making our day unforgettable. To top it all off, Ross squeezed us in last minute and made a very long drive just to be there for us. That kind of commitment and service is rare. We are beyond impressed and so grateful we found him. If you're looking for an officiant who is professional, kind, flexible, and truly invested in making your day special, we cannot recommend Ross highly enough. He is absolutely amazing!

    Ross was an amazing officiant for our ceremony in August. He met with me and my husband weeks prior…read moreto the wedding in order to get a better feel for what we were looking for on our special day. He took the time to drive all the way out to our area and spent a significant amount of time getting to know us and going through the whole process of getting us married. He was so friendly and we both immediately knew he would help make our wedding one to remember. We loved Ross so much we invited him to stay for our reception and experience our modern Argentine and Mexican infused wedding. Without realizing it, Ross became apart of our memories that will last us a lifetime. He answered all of our questions and made getting married simple and easy. All the paperwork was taken care of and we received our marriage certificate sooner than expected. THANK YOU ROSS FOR MAKING OUR DAY SPECIAL!

    Warm, genuine, responsive, responsible, detail-oriented, organized, empathetic, and sincere-- those…read moreare just a few adjectives that come into mind when my new husband and I think about our experience with having Elizabeth as our officiant. There's a ton more, but we're trying to be "succinct" here. =) I half joke that Elizabeth was not only our officiant but also my therapist in the time leading up to our wedding since I was a ball of anxiety planning everything. Elizabeth was EVER so patient and responsive with my flurry of nonstop emails and questions, as well as providing constant reassurance which I know was far beyond her job description. Elizabeth really goes above and beyond, not only providing a huge variety of personalized scripts for your wedding (if you so choose), professionalism of making the legal process very easy, but she also takes the time out of her personal life to get to know you as an individual and as a couple, so that if you choose, you do not feel like you are getting married by a stranger, but rather an old family friend. Thank you so much for being THE best officiant, friend, and guidance for us in one of the more stressful times! P.S. This raving review comes from a couple that self-describes themselves to be pretty high maintenance and picky! =)

    Other than marrying Mr. Q, Elizabeth Oakes may just be the favorite part of my wedding. She was the…read moreabsolute perfect officiant for us. Backing it up a bit, I used to work in the wedding industry and had seen my fair share of wedding officiants, but Elizabeth always stood out as not only being a great, charismatic speaker - but she's so genuine. Surprisingly when my day came though, we looked elsewhere for officiants first. I know, I know - stupid, right? Well, we were getting married in Palm Springs and thought we should try to hire someone local - and yeesh, there were some horror stories there. (Almost literally with one lady who I swear could have doubled for either Fire Marshall Bill or The Cryptkeeper - but smothered in perfume.) Then we thought about the possibility of having someone we know do it, but that thought passed quickly. Having seen a bajillion weddings, it doesn't always go according to plan having a pal do it. So, I thought, even though the wedding is in Palm Springs, I'm gonna email Elizabeth. I'm soooo glad I did. We didn't have many requirements for our ceremony, and while we didn't want it to be 45 minutes long, we also didn't want it to be 5 minutes long. (I think we ended up at a good 15 or so.) We told her we didn't want any talk of God, but also nothing too hippie dippy either. She always responded immediately to emails and gave us lots of ideas for not only readings, but special touches and the order of the whole thing. She even suggested this thing where the rings were passed through the bridal party to be sorta "blessed" with well wishes - we did it and, while it may sound cheesy writing it here - it definitely brought a tear to my eye. Oh! I didn't even mention all the other stuff - like how she filed all the paperwork for us, and how she had our vows and readings all printed up on very nice paper (vellum overlay even!), and even gave us a nice CD as a wedding gift. I was thoroughly impressed. We just loved how Elizabeth "got" us, and was super helpful in making our ceremony so special to us.

    We used Chris as our wedding officiant in 2024, and he was easily one of the highlights of the…read moreentire night. From the start, he really took the time to understand what we wanted and thoughtfully incorporated everything we asked for into the ceremony. The result was something that felt truly personal, meaningful, and us--never generic or scripted. So many of our guests came up to us afterward asking who he was and how they could get in contact with him, which says everything. If you're looking for an officiant who is professional, engaging, and able to create a ceremony that genuinely resonates, we can't recommend Chris enough.

    We worked with Chris for our wedding, July 17, 2021. Simply AMAZING!! I've sat through SO many…read moreboring ceremonies and I knew that I wanted the exact opposite for my wedding. Chris was very friendly, funny, personable and made sure everyone had a great time. From the start of working with Chris, he was super dope & my favorite, efficient. We did a zoom call prior to booking and he treated us like we've known each other for years. He walked us through all the steps, sent us documents to complete, along with our h/w assignment, got our approvals on everything and just like that our ceremony was planned! The entire crowd LOVED the homework assignment surprise and it kept everyone entertained. You will get never-ending compliments, trust me. Choose Chris for your ceremony, he's worth it.
